Hi ,

That's wonderful to hear about , let's hope that it continues.

There's a few tests that you could do before seeing Dr P - the saliva adrenal

stress test which is 4 samples of saliva throughout the day, then there are some

urine tests - there is a 24hr urine test for thyroid hormones. It won't tell you

if has any antibodies though - only blood will do that. The 24 hr urine

test is very highly regarded by TPA-UK- they seem to consider it the most

accurate test for thyroid hormones. I think that all of these tests come from

Genova and you can get a discount from TPA and use them as the practitioner.

Have a look on their site, in the files there is information on tests and

discounts.

I know what you mean about the basal temperatures. I couldn't get then done

properly with Vicky either - she would be up and around. So I just did them as

soon as I could after she had got up - they were still low. I did the pulse that

way as well. 's temperature fluctutations may be adrenal, so the adrenal

stress profile would be really useful. Have you checked out Dr Rind's site for

the metabolic graphs.

So good to hear that things are so good at the moment.

Hi Sharon,

No you wouldn't need to do any testing for the iodine. Any excess iodine that

the body does not need is excreted.

The best place to go for advice is The Iodine Group - there is a thread about

children at the moment and how much people are giving. At 15 though and with the

hormone problems that she has I expect that she is going to need a high dose,

but, you will need to make sure that you are taking the companion nutrients. The

best thing to do is start off low and gradually build it up. But, please do see

what the iodine group say. There is alot of mis-information out there about

iodine and the medical establishment seem frightened of it.
